About to buy a SONOS, a couple of questions regarding usability.

Today I went to a shop almost decided to buy a SONOS, unfortunately the vendor there had no clue about the system and couldn't answer any of my questions, happens.

Anyway, my use case would be:

- I stream to my TV (Samsung UE48JU) movies from my PC using Chromecast.
- I like to watch some YouTube videos mostly or occasionally some music in the kitchen while I do something.
- I play PS4 on the TV.
- I don't play PC games on the TV, but might happen in the future, perhaps.

The idea is:

- to buy a playbar for the TV and a play 3 for the kitchen.
- if everything works really good, later I'd add a sub-woofer + a couple of play 3 to get 5.1 to the TV room.

However I've been reading that:

- some people has issues when trying to get 5.1, because apparently when you connect the console through the HDMI connection, you cant get optic audio out in 5.1
- YouTube is not supported within the app, any workarounds?.or could I use Chromecast somehow?.

Basically those are my questions.

Thanks.

I do not know what Sonos' is.

The local sales policy is in the narrow black banner at the top of http://www.sonos.com.

Ok so it doesn't matter if I buy it from a retailer or not then?.

I interpret the return policy stated on the Sonos site as only referring to direct sales. By 'local sales' I meant in your specific country, not down the road at your nearest big-box store.
